Embalming has always been a profession of precision, care, and quiet dignity. For centuries, embalmers have combined science with artistry to preserve and restore the human body. Now, with the rise of artificial intelligence, a new partner has entered the preparation room-not to replace the embalmer, but to assist them.
In this groundbreaking guide, licensed embalmer and author Joe Clark explores how artificial intelligence can support embalmers in every aspect of their work. From case assessment to chemical calculations, from trauma reconstruction to compliance paperwork, AI is transforming the way embalmers prepare, protect, and preserve.
Inside, you'll discover how AI can:
Assist with case planning and predict case difficulty.
Calculate fluid strength and dilution ratios with greater accuracy.
Offer guidance on trauma and restorative work, using image-based analysis and case precedents.
Simplify documentation, OSHA compliance, and state inspections.
Enhance embalmer training, continuing education, and virtual case libraries.
Monitor chemical exposure, PPE use, and workplace safety in real time.
Improve communication with families, offering clear, compassionate explanations.
More than just a book about technology, A.I. for Embalmers is a vision of the future of the profession-where tradition meets innovation, and where embalmers remain at the center of dignity, artistry, and care.
Whether you're a mortuary science student, a seasoned embalmer, or a funeral professional interested in the next chapter of preparation room technology, this book offers both insight and inspiration.
